A postgraduate degree is a second degree for university graduates, leading to a masters or PhD qualification. Some of our postgraduate degrees are taught entirely online so you can study while you work, wherever you live.
Applications for second degrees should be made directly to the University of Edinburgh.
The University uses an online application system which can be found on the right-hand side of each programme page within the degree finder.
